Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Gasoline prices increase dramatically in a month. Lola commutes 100 miles to work each weekday.  

For a few months, she tries to reduce expenses on gasoline but driving less on weekends. Within a year she moved to place only 10 miles away from her workplace.  

We see that in response to an increase in the price of Gasoline, the quantity demanded of gasoline by Lola is adjusting over time. The demand is getting more price elastic with the passage of time as a consumer is adjusting to price change and finding new ways to reduce expenses.  

This example shows how the time horizon determines the price elasticity of demand.

Paolo and Isadora Shaw are married, file a joint tax return, and have one dependent child, Dante. The Shaws report modified AGI
umka21 [38]

Answer: $2,500

Explanation:

The American opportunity tax credit (AOTC) is a measure by the IRS that is a credit for QUALIFIED education expenses paid on Eligible students.

A maximum of $2,500 in credit can be acquired per eligible student.

To qualify for the full amount of this tax credit, your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) must be $80,000 or less ($160,000 or less for married filing jointly).

The Shaws are married and file jointly with a MAGI of $148,000 which is less than the $160,000 limit which means that they are due for the entire credit amount of $2,500 as they pay education expenses for their ONE dependant child assuming Dante meets the various eligibility criteria.

The amount of the Shaws' American Opportunity credit for the year is $2,500.

If you need any clarification, do comment. Cheers.
